The only one I have read is Beowolf. I read it in High School English Lit class, actually. I rather enjoyed it :).

Sagas of Icelanders(there are 18 total in it), Njals Saga, Sagas of Warrior Poets, Saga of the Volsungs,King Haralds Saga, Heimskringla( I guess you could count that also).

As far as faves? Egil's Saga, Njals Saga and a slew of others.

Not to nitpick but Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon poem whereas the Norse Saga's are Scandanavian mainly taking place in Iceland. If you want tales of Loki Bethra read any of the Norse myths or the Poetic Edda as Loki is in a number of the Eddic lays.
